Perpetual Eucharistic adoration is our response to Jesus’ love for us. You become a part of perpetual Eucharistic adoration (PEA) when you spend a quiet holy hour of prayer in His Presence once a week on the same day at the same time every week, so that all of us, united together, adore Our Lord perpetually seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day.

If you have already submitted your Invitation to Adoration form, the PEA Organization Team will be contacting you soon to get you “on the schedule”. If you have not already responded to Jesus’ invitation to “Spend One Hour With Me”, please complete an invitation form. Or, you may send an email with your name and phone # to scbadoration@yahoo.com

Also, if you are interested in helping to organize perpetual Eucharistic adoration, please come to the next meeting to see how you can help, so our parish may have the great blessing of adoring Our Lord at all times.

— Important Special Summer Project —

The parish has been given a mobile home. Father Gonzales will be moving into it in October since the parish has had no priest residence for quite a number of years. The mobile home needs a lot of attention — flooring, painting, electrical, appliances — so work parties will be arranged during the summer to ready the residence for Father and future pastors.

Saint Charles Borromeo

Charles was given the rank of cardinal to go with his position as personal assistant to the Pope. Pius IV made his talented and dedicated nephew secretary of state and relied heavily on his energy in directing the third session of the Council of Trent (1562-1563), as well as in handling the practical, political affairs of the city of Rome. In 1563 Charles was ordained a priest and consecrated archbishop of Milan, but he continued to live in Rome and work with his uncle. When he was given responsibility in Rome for the Church reform commanded by the Council of Trent, he brought about proper religious instructions in the parishes, saw that the elaborate worship rituals were toned down in the interest of devotion, and built a new seminary for the proper training of the clergy.
